I'm the cool dad. That's, that's my thing.

I know now what I can offer you that no one else can. Complete and undependent.

I'm a man. I'm sensitive. I need to feel loved. I need to be desired.

Yelling is the only part of being a father that I enjoy.

Welcome to Dear Old Dan's, the podcast that's got it sleeping bags and popcorn ready.

I'm Tom Curry. I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. Hello, gentlemen. Hello. Why are my kids home, you ask? Well, I'll tell you. It's because it's President's Week. It's Presidents Week. I guess they got more Presidents since we were kids or something. I don't, because they're just, it's a whole week. They're just home.

They don't, their whole doesn't exist. It's a scam. A four day weekend. They got a four day weekend for which, I mean, like, we just have to pause and remember what a thing to celebrate this year. Right. Yeah. President's Day. God, don't you just feel it right in the, right in your heart, how patriotic you feel about our president right now. Look, you know, everyone's

been rag in on just feel it right in the right in your heart how patriotic you feel about our president.

Yeah, look, you know, everyone's been rag in on Google for removing all those holidays from

the calendar a couple of years ago, even though people just noticed it this year for the first time.

But like, I actually feel way better that no one's going to remind me that Holocaust Memorial Day

happens this year. I am living Holocaust Remembrance Day. one's going to remind me that Holocaust Memorial Day happens this year.

I am living Holocaust Remembrance Day.

I'm remembering it every day as I repeat the history of it.

So yeah, maybe we owe Google an apology from a couple years ago.

What do you bet Juneteenth gets wiped off the calendar this year as a federal holiday?

We'll do even more. Here's the thing about Juneteenth. Objectively the calendar as a federal holiday. We'll do even more.

Here's the thing about Juneteenth.

Objectively best name of any holiday. Set everything else aside. Every time someone's like, oh, Juneteenth, I'm like, fucking A. That's awesome. Can I say, disagree? Quanza. Quanza. Quanza's fun to say. I love Juneteenth. Oh, guys, are you coming over for Kwanza?

Yeah, I'm fucking coming over for Kwanza.

Anyway, it's the 12 days of presidents now. It's my first day of president. This isn't, and I had to clarify. I was like, so is this their spring break or something? It seems early. Nope, not their spring break. They just get a week off. Could you imagine if when I was a kid, if we just got a fucking random ass week off, I'd be like, first off, do I have cancer? Am I dying? Like what's, is it a make a wish? Right. It's just all the time. Even the snow day experience. Kids these days, when Max has a snow day, three days beforehand, I get all the fucking sirens and claxons and a phone call and an email and my and the boop app and the scroop app, all of which I am a member of.

Yeah. All of which I gave my fucking blood to are like, it's going to snow in three days just so you know.
